«A win-win situation for parents and daycare families»
Ms D'Aquino, who is behind Nidino?
A network of professionally trained childminders in the Greater Zurich Area who provide high-quality, affordable and flexible childcare. They look after babies, toddlers and schoolchildren. Early in the morning or over lunchtime, in the evening, at weekends or overnight. Whenever parents need it – on a regular basis, not just ad hoc. In many places, we also offer subsidised childcare places.
What distinguishes Nidino from other daycare organisations?
We bring parents and carers together on a digital platform. On nidino.com, carers introduce themselves, talk about themselves, their experience and qualifications, and the daily routine that children can expect in their family. Care times and rates are clearly displayed at a glance.
We work with people who, as loving, knowledgeable and consistent caregivers, enable girls and boys to have valuable relationship and learning experiences.
In traditional daycare organisations, an agent suggests a suitable family – with Nidino, parents decide for themselves who they would like to get to know better – without paperwork or third parties. As an agent, I come into play at the first meeting. We know our daycare families personally and are in close contact with them. Each one has undergone a rigorous selection process that exceeds standard quality standards. We want to be an attractive employer. It should be a win-win situation for everyone.
What makes you attractive as an employer?
We help childminders position themselves professionally so that their work receives the recognition it deserves. They don't just look after a few extra children – we work with people who enable girls and boys to have valuable relationship and learning experiences as loving, knowledgeable and consistent caregivers.
We also take care of all the formalities and offer carers comprehensive social, insurance and pension benefits. We want to empower them to do a satisfying job on their own terms. That's why we provide Nidino Campus, a web-based app with interactive training modules, offer regular workshops and nurture our community through informal meetings. And we are always available for our daycare families.
